Equipment malfunctions!!! In our 2 days of rain, the GPS 2610 got so wet, the screen de-laminated. No problem, after it dried, it flaked away. Now it's extremely difficult to select things on the screen. The old GPS worked fine until today, when the ball broke on the mount. Technical difficulties. Between the heat and the rain, it's tough on bodies and machines. (Tony's holding up great! I'm not handling the 104 degree temps well, especially when sitting in traffic on interstates!
News tonight from Bentonville, AR (the bonus we were going to scrap, but didn't). As Amy reported we set up in Memphis this morning, and decided to forestall the Fayetteville, AR and Wal-Mart Visitor Center (we all know how Tony feels about Wal-Mart) :^) We picked up Superman and Paducah for more points. After heading to Mammoth Springs, we realized that we had a good chance of gettting the Fayetteville (razorback mascot) after all. According to the rules we had 1 hr after sunset. Sun Set at 7:54 PM, and we could make it in at 8:04. Piece of cake.......couldn't find the correct parking lot or Big Red. Heat makes me grouchy, which means I've been VERY grouchy. Tony's trying to be patient. Anyhow after numerous stops and asking students that had no clue, we finally found the statue hidden in a litte park on the Univ of AR campus. Took the pic, and dashed over to the gas station with minutes to spare (Phew!) So looks like we're going for the scrapped bonii after all.
I think the next leg I'll go to Alaska. Maybe it's cool there!!! Cio for now....wish us luck tomorrow.

Guud luck today. I''ll be lighting candles for you two. I'm wishing no rain, no wind just a perfect day. Ride safe and get a bag for parts!
Rain & HEAT, Go AWAY! I am right there with you two. I am hoping for cooler and drier weather for you. Hang in there!
You are keeping up with your self fulfilling prophecy that your GPS would fail. Good thing that Tony has two GPSs, eh? That is assuming that these also have not puked!!
Anyway, make sure that you call me if you are in the area. My cell phone is on 24/7. See ya!! Lisa
